The success of the online casinos is about choice

Here at onlinecasino.ie, we clearly have a specific interest in the effect that the online casinos have had on peoples gambling habits in Ireland, and whether the availability of casino games online in Irish homes has altered our perception of gambling. Not many years ago relatively few people in the country had access to a real casino, and even those of us who could get to a casino were usually restricted to casino games such as roulette and blackjack because Irish casinos were usually relatively small and limited by space. Sports gambling was of course very popular, particularly horse racing, and the High Street betting shops were well supported but beyond that even gambling on slot machines provided very little choice. In our opinion it is primarily the choice factor which has driven the success of the online casinos, and the variety of casino games they offer is what has encouraged so many of us to log on and play casino games in our leisure time. The online casinos have no space restrictions of any consequence so they can and do cover all bases in their appeal to their customers. The range of slots is of course the most obvious factor when you first visit an online casino, but they also offer a selection of bingo games and lotteries, including scratch cards and so many casino games that we had almost forgotten. Take poker as a prime example, the online casinos offer us the choice of formats ranging from simple draw poker played against the house, to stud poker and the community card formats including the experienced poker gambler’s favourite Texas Hold’em which can be played against other online gamblers on poker forums hosted by the online casinos. If you then add the dice games, backgammon, baccarat and the video slots found on many of the online casinos there is something for everyone. For the inexperienced casino games players there is also the option of playing free until you understand the game, and the Live casino format enhances the casino gambling experience for all of us. No wonder the online casinos have been so successful  in attracting new customers, they provide choice.
